Graham Norton had Billie Piper on his show a couple weeks back and asked her about it. She answered with a firm "No."

Good. She's awful and symptomatic of everything that was bad about the reboot. She's the herpes of companions. Just when you think she's gone, she flares back up.

I think the red menace beat Rose in that department. Hell, they even did a 5 episode farewell tour season for that one that left even Red's most ardent supporters saying "WTF? Why didn't they just go away at the end of last season? This makes no sense."

Aahh...Doctor Who.The show that has the message about love and friends, yet people everywhere whine like rabid fanboys about people they like and don't like.

Having "The Eleven Doctors" probably would not work even ignoring casting issues. The sheer number of them would just get in the way of a good story. A smaller number of doctors would work better since there would be better opportunity for character moments.

News: New Doctor Who Matt Smith's first appearance as the Doctor will be in a special this November featuring all eleven Doctors. Fark: Even the dead ones

/except the first appearance part

They did that for him actually. They had a holographic version of every Doctor and Matt Smith walked through the Tenth Doctor and said "Eleven." Though they did not have the actual actors there, they did show them all.

texdent:ExperianScaresCthulhu: Falcon Hunter: CZMisfitsFan: I get the feeling this will be one huge disappointment for the fans. It'll probably be a regular season with some nods to the past but that's about it.

/Does the no companions thing include Jack? Because that's pretty much the only thing I want at this point.

John Barrowman said he's in - if they'd ask him. The producers of Arrow said they'd alter production to accommodate if need be!
